Skip Intro loads you directly into the main menu when you start the game, bypassing the long splash screen with the logos. It's open-source if you want to peek. Installation Install SMAPI (0.39.5+). Download the Nexus mod, and unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods. Run the game using SMAPI. This is a very simple mod, so it shouldn't affect anything beyond the title screen. Let me know if you find any issues.
Version 1.1 is now available! This just adds compatibility with Stardew Valley 1.1. Feel free to post bugs, suggestions, or feedback here. (This is a very simple mod, so I don't expect any issues.)
Version 1.3 is now available for Linux, Mac, and Windows! Release notes: Will now skip to load screen. (This can be disabled in config.json.) Added update check. Updated to SMAPI 1.8.
Version 1.4 is now available for Linux, Mac, and Windows! Release notes: Will now skip more smoothly. Fixed title music not playing after skip. Fixed title buttons being temporarily misplaced when skip to load screen is enabled. Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome here.
Skip Intro 1.5-beta is now available (see attached). This version adds support for Stardew Valley 1.2 beta. This is for Stardew Valley 1.2 beta and SMAPI 1.9 only; it won't work with earlier versions. Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome here. [Edit: download removed; see the latest version instead.]
Thanks for your updating!This mod is very useful and im looking forward to the automation mod's updating
Skip Intro 1.5 is now available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. This just adds support for Stardew Valley 1.2 beta. Feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome here.
Just to point out you can just hit escape and it skips the screens and goes straight to the main menu.
Yes, but for us modders even that takes 3 extra seconds per launch, when you are launching 30+ times an hour... it matters....
The mod also skips you straight to the load menu (optional), so you don't need to wait for the title screen to slide into place and click the 'Load' button. That ends up saving quite a bit of time even over hitting ESC at the logo.
Skip Intro 1.7 is now available! Changes in this release: Updated to SMAPI 1.14. Start even more quickly — the mod now skips the button/slide transitions on the title & load screens. Fixed the intro not being skipped when you exit to title.
Skip Intro 1.7.1 is now available! Changes in this release: Updated to SMAPI 2.1. Switched to SMAPI update checks.
tiny problem. mod version on nexus does not come with config, or a lot of the files it should. works fine, but i keep on misclicking on a random save file when checking things outside the window. update - version 1.5 and beyond do not include the config.json, highly suggested to include, i like change.
Hi @mitzSBnovakid. Run the game once with the mod installed to generate the config.json. (Most mods with a config.json file work that way, to prevent updates from removing your previous config settings.) The issue where clicking outside the game registers inside the game is a bug in Stardew Valley itself (not caused by Skip Intro). The workaround is to click once inside the window before minimising, and then it won't happen anymore.
ah yes i see it now! i ran it before but i didn't know there was a config, and now i see it. sorry if i caused any worries.
